Lockheed Martin reviews

Very tough to get promoted, numerous levels of management with questionable value to company, a lot of expenditures that are very wasteful. Lower levels of people can be held back from promotions because of the salaries of higher level people that make the mean salary of their group too high. My manager wanted to give me a promotion, but was not able to because it would put the mean salary of our group above it's target for the year.

Forced performance distributions, Rating determined by managers you rarely see, Salary compression, job category salary ranges are market based but actual salary distributions are ~ 89% of mean, Promotion opportunities go to outsiders, 4 is a career level, decreasing benefits ( no pension for newbies, lots of pressure to make up any sick time, 1 choice for health care package, etc), management and workers growing more disconnected...2 very different worlds, local managers neutered by HR and policies. Full Spectrum Leadership is preached....ever constricting management is practiced.
